ALEMBIC BASSES

i recently found of brand of basses called alembic and these basses are crazy (in a good way). Their designs are awesome and they have the greatest sound. THEIR LOGO IS COOL TOO. But i mean these can cost over 10 grand...how does somebody go about buying a bass for 10 grand?

First, get ten thousand dollars...

(thanks, Steve Martin.)

Alembics are wonderful instruments and have been played by a lot of well-known bassists. They've been around since the early 70's. Players include Stanley Clarke, John Entwistle, John Paul Jones, and a host of others. I have a woody for one since 1980, but have never owned one.

Keep an eye on eBay or (better, since there have been fakes on eBay) a reputable used instrument dealer. Some models can be had for under $1500.
